To activate a reset, I recommend focusing on the power of small actions. It may sound simplistic, but it is the most important thing you can do. Implementing small actions changed my life, and I’ve seen it change the lives of thousands of people in my Fearless Living Academy and my one-on-one coaching clients.

How do small actions make a difference?

Lay Out a Simple Vision

Create a simple vision of what you would like your life to be like.

Ask yourself: If you could start with a blank slate, what would you want?

You may want to eat better and exercise regularly, or get off your phone and get outside more. Maybe you want to socialize a bit or read more. Perhaps you want to do something you’re passionate about or declutter your home.

Simply think about the life you would like to live.

Go for a walk, sit out in nature, and let yourself dream. What would feel really good to you?

You don’t need a complete, detailed vision at this point—just something to start with.

As you think about your vision, set aside any doubts for now. How does it make you feel? Let yourself be inspired.

Practice Small Actions

Most people will stop the process here—they feel intimidated, overwhelmed, or resigned to the idea that a reset is not possible. Don’t stop here!

I encourage you to start practicing really small actions—every day.

Pick something small and do your best to take that action. Do it several times per day—up to 10 times per day if you feel motivated, or one to three if you’re not. Try to take at least a small step or two every day—and forgive yourself if you miss a day.

What are small actions? Here are some that relate to the example visions I shared above:

• Go out for a five-minute walk


• Eat one piece of fruit


• Declutter one to two items—put them in a box for donation


• Listen to a podcast about something you might get passionate about


• Reach out to a friend and say hello


• Find a book to read and read the first paragraph

As you can see, most of these—if not all of them—are easy. Sometimes they might feel too easy. That’s perfect! Do a bunch of actions that feel way too easy.

If an action feels too hard, then do a smaller, easier version of it. For example, if you want to meditate for 10 minutes but can’t bring yourself to do it, can you meditate for just one minute? It should feel easier than you can handle.

In the end, these small actions create a “life reset.” You are creating a new life, one tiny action at a time. Instead of doing your default, you’re trying something different. Give this life reset some time—a few weeks, a couple of months—and you’ll see big changes in your life.
